Hi. I'm Richard. The sixth generation of five generations of midwestern farmers. My grandfather first broke away from farming and was a used car salesman. He had two sons, one of which went back into farming and my father who went to college to get a law degree. Just after college, Dad met Mom who grew up largely without parents and eventually ended up living with her great Aunt Elizabeth. Mom and Dad never had lots of money with his public serving job as a prosecutor in our small hometown in N Indiana, but afforded his three kids a college education. I'm the middle of the three and have all the characteristics that define "the middle child". Ignored, attention deficit and the need to prove yourself. I'm on a journey to achieve my dreams. I ultimately want to build something great. Something bigger than me, that is relevant. Relevant is ever elusive so far (and largely self defined), but it drives me to do more, do better and ultimately to move mountains.
